I chose this picture of a room almost no one on campus knows exists. The colorguard room. I feel like this accurately represents how there are so many different people at Costa that sadly some wind up forgotten, but this room is a second home to myself and eleven other people who love this sport with all of our hearts. While it is sad that the only time we are appreciated is when people are given a break from football games to go get food during our show, we love our school and our
sport and this little room is where the magic happens.

I chose this photo because it shows how Mira Costa is a very calm and relaxed school. While the school is relaxed, high school can be scary. A lot of people say that High school can shape your life. While this can be true it is a very stressful topic. Mira Costa once you step on campus you realize that they help with the stress and makes it positive. That is why I think that this photo represents Mira Costa.

I chose a picture of Waller stadium because it is where many athletic events that MCHS has takes place. Over the decades, emotions of great determination and redemption have occurred. It is where all different levels of athletes gather to compete and have a terrific time. It's awesome to see teams battle relentless no mater what sport against one another to see who has proven to be better that day. It is also where we gather during Costa's varsity home football games every Friday night where chaos and excitement emerge from the crowd. As one final mention, it resembles the history of Mira Costa's athletics ever since there's been a stadium that was constructed there. It is something tha can bring us all together.

To me this one image represents the entire essence of Mira Costa High School. First, it is a representation of the community at MCHS because it is a symbol of the group of students who sit here everyday sharing common goals. Also, this picture embodies the values of kindness and friendship that Mira Costa represents. Lastly, it shows how the support of your peers is really important to the success of a student here at Costa.

This picture represents Costa to me because it is where the whole school can get together to support each other.  It represents the community of Costa and how we are a family.  It is also a place where we have fun.  We play together here on sports teams and have competitions.

I decided to take this picture of Mira Costa, because it shows how huge and nice the school is. Mira Costa is not just big, beautiful and clean, but classes are big too, new and full of modern supplies, and our teachers give us great education in all fields we want! And as we heard today in assembly it's all "for free"!!! Mira Costa is one of the best schools to be educated in because it gives the freedom of subjects' choice, of education, freedom for the inspiration, opportunities, and success in the future.  And as you see on my picture, another person is taking pictures of Mira Costa before weekend, because can't live without school even two days!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this picture because it reminds me of the fun and spirited attitude of everyone on campus. Everyone at Costa has such an amazing love for this school, and I think that's what's being shown here.

To me, MCHS is represented by the enterance. People see it while driving by, coming to school, or leaving school. So many people go through it everyday

I took a picture of the football field. I chose this because the field is a place where people of different schools and cities meet to play football. Also, our field leaves an impression of how our school is to the other teams we are playing. O
ur field leaves a good impression which is how the rest of Costa looks to other schools.

This is a picture of the baseball field. Sports are essential here to Mira Costa because sports makes us (the students) who we are. Without them, Mira Costa would be boring, no action. Mira Costa isnt just represented by sports, it also is represented with its good teachers and students.

It's To me, Mira Costa is represented by this picture. The most important part of your high school career is getting involved and meating new people. This is exactly what lunch is about. At lunch you get to sit, eat, and bond with your friends. My friends and I sit here on this grassy area, which has made this spot really special to me.

My picture, unlike anyone else's, is of a black screen. Before you get confused let me explain. To me, Costa can't be described in just one or two pictures. Everyone has a different view on what makes Costa Costa. You can be anyone you want, do anything you want(as long as it's school appropriate), and discover what really makes you who you are. Within this black screen, you can see whatever you want to see, and that is why I took this admittedly odd picture.

This is a picture of the quad. I chose to take a picture of the quad because it is the center of the school and is where many of the students hangout during snack, lunch, or any other free time during the day. Many people have made many memories and friends in the quad of MCHS. The quad also represents the connectivity between everyone on campus and the learning of all students that are most likely attempting to achieve the good grades at MCHS expected by many parents around the south bay.

The picture I chose is of the mural of a stampede of mustangs by the gym. I chose this picture because it represents the unity at our school. The mustangs on the mural are charging in a stampede, as one, which is similar to how students at the school stay together in one stampede.

I chose this picture because I feel like the library is where a lot of students go when they need to get something done or just because its fun. No matter what time of day it is, there are always students in the library working on homework, studying or reading. I go to the library all the time because its a great place to get help and a good place to concentrate when trying to work or study. Without a library, a lot of students will loose a great place where they can do anything in.

I choose this picture because a lot can be said about this place but ill keep it short. This says a lot about Mira Costa because we keep our fields nice and this is a place where you can't be judge and work hard for whatever u want to do on this field. What all my coaches told me once you step on that field you be who you wanna be and WORK HARD!!!!!!!!

I chose this picture because it represents what Mira Costa is all about. Mira Costa is about learning, but at the same time having fun. So this picture of the main quad shows a spot where people can learn, but at the same time develop relationships and learn who they are as a person.

I chose this picture to represent Mira Costa because it reminds people that even at the end of the day, the things that were done at this high school stays with us when we go home or leave for greater things. It has provided many for college and life in general. This school was a home for a time for each student it housed and provided the knowledge for. It will still be here when we go home for the day and when leave for college.

I believe this picture is essential to the understanding of MCHS because it is the front entrance of the school. When the school is represented and seen, it is usually the front entrance. Most people come through this way and experience Mira Costa coming and leaving from the front entrance.

I chose this picture because of our background of opportunity and privilege. Mira Costa and its campus constantly reminds us that to whom much is given, much is expected.

I believe that this photo of the Quad does a great job of representing Mira Costa. Mira Costa is a beautiful school known for it's stellar academics and amazing extracurricular activities. We are very lucky to go to this school because not many schools in the state (or even the country) get to experience the "Mira Costa" life every day.

OI chose the quad to represent the essence of Mira Costa because that's where most people hang out and eat. I also chose the library just because I love it.

I took this picture because it represents passion and creativity. Mira Costa Highschool provides many creative classes such as cinematic arts, yearbook, la vista, art class ect. This year I am taking cinematic arts, which is a class to express your creative artworks of film. A camera captures the essence of the originality and imagination in our school.

Bella McDaniel- I choose this photo because it shows a trait most kids at MCHS have. Kids here at MCHS usually are very determined to get good grades, and power through high school. They do this so that they can get into their dream college, and do the job they truly want to do.

I chose to take a picture of the flagpole in the quad. Although it might seem that the flagpole is relatively irrelevant, it is very important to this school. Not only do all students and faculty recite the Pledge of Allegience to the flag every day, this flag also resembles what this school's students try to act with, including honor, integrity, and respect.

This is the expansive area near the center of the Costa campus. Many students refer to this as the "quad" and they like to spend their free time here socializing with friends and classmates.  This really shows how much Costa values friendship and socializing, because they dedicated all this space for it.  The quad is right at the center of the school, and it seems the ideal is also at the center of Costa's heart.

I chose this photo because it shows where my friends and I eat. Mira Costa has a great community and I'm lucky to be able to meet these amazing people during lunch. I also really love the painting behind them. The arts program at Mira Costa is a big part of my life. It's a very successful department I hope to become more apart of in the future.

The auditorium shows the talent of this school and the importance. To me, it shows me that I am in a school that has great people, students and teachers, and it makes me feel that I am going to have an amazing future.
